FMburgh April 2018 Meeting

The agenda for the evening includes a roundtable discussion centered around the topic “Put the Fun in Custom Functions”. The FileMaker Platform already provides a wide range of powerful functions to developers when building a calculation. However, the inclusion of a custom function or two can often ease development. At this gathering of the Pittsburgh FileMaker Developer Group, we will discuss the use cases for custom functions and look at examples that have served us well in our own development. If you have a favorite custom function, bring it along to share with the group.

As is our custom, we plan to hold the organized discussion time to about an hour or so, and allow for additional discussion and networking time following the presentation.

After a brief introduction at 6:30, we will enjoy dinner before starting the official discussion. A selection of Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches are on the evening’s menu along with an assortment of chips, cookies and beverages. If you have any special dietary considerations, please make a note when submitting your RSVP. We will do our best to plan the meal accordingly, but please understand if we are unable to accommodate every restriction.

While we encourage everyone to attend in-person for the camaraderie and sharing of ideas (and food), we have begun to experiment with various configurations to allow remote access. This meeting marks another one of these experiments, and we plan to make it available via web conferencing to allow members to attend if they are unable to be at Bakery Square. If you plan to attend remotely, please indicate that when submitting your RSVP.
